The new hype these days is the new escape/ breakout rooms that are multiplying all over the nation. This weekend I had the pleasure of playing one of the breakout games with my boyfriend's family, and it was thrilling!
If you haven't heard of the breakout games or escape rooms before, basically you and your family or friends go and attempt to escape a room and an assimilated situation. In Greensboro, NC, Breakout offers a variety of rooms from kidnapping to hostage. Greensboro's Breakout also has a casino heist and museum murder mystery! My boyfriend's father chose Hostage!
The point of the escape/ breakout room is to solve a series of puzzles within an hour and essentially as the name leads on to breakout. I think this game is a viable test to see how well your friends or family can work together in a heated situation. Maybe even take your partner on a date there and see if you'll succeed. Will you all stay calm, or yell at each other? I believe these escape rooms would be a good replacement to those outdoor bonding activity field trips schools would make you go on.
So if you're running out of hiking trip ideas, and don't feel like going to the NC zoo for the third time, try booking a trip to an escape room!
